An Awkward Reunion

Y City, September.

Above the luxury yacht, fireworks bloomed in the star-studded night sky.

With a loud bang, Li Shengxia kicked open the door of Suite 8888 and stalked off. Only after walking away did she realize that she had just used one of her high heels to clobber Mo Nianchen. She was left holding her one remaining shoe.

That b*stard! She must have been crazy to believe him! How utterly embarrassing!

Li Shengxia suddenly recalled the doll he had torn apart when she was young. Mo Nianchen would always ruin her favorite toys without any mercy.

He always had a penchant for destroying everything she liked.

He would snatch her favorite toys and smash them before her eyes.

He would buy the clothes she had set her eyes on and burn them in front of her.

He would seize the men she liked and destroy them as she watched.

Meeting him was the bane of her life. Ever since they were children, he seemed to live only to humiliate her.

"I hate you!" was the phrase he always used.

"So do I!" was her dishonest response.

When she was seventeen, she wrote a love letter to him. She clearly noticed the disdain in his eyes, yet she still waited hopefully for him throughout that rainy night! Of course, he never showed up.

The next day, she resolutely embarked on the flight to begin her studies abroad. He had the nerve to rush to her, telling her that if she were to forget that letter, he would let her remain by his side!

Heh heh! What sort of lowly state was she in, that he would display such pity?

Thus, she left without looking back, cutting him off from her world forever!

She thought that they owed each other nothing and would go their separate ways. Who knew that, after so many years, she actually fell into his hands once again!

Forget it! Just brush it off as being molested by a pig!

Li Shengxia came out of the room. She did not expect the luxury yacht to be filled with so many people. All she wanted was to quickly leave this blasted place, but someone suddenly stopped her from behind—

"Li Shengxia? Isn't that Shengxia?"

"Shengxia? Are you here for Young Master Yin's engagement banquet?" The one who spoke was one of her high school classmates.

Young Master Yin's engagement banquet? Who? Li Shengxia's expression suddenly froze—

In the next instant, even more people turned to stare at her!

Everyone there was dressed up to the nines, except for Li Shengxia. The dress she had prepared was torn to shreds by Mo Nianchen, so her current attire was somewhat pathetic.

"It's really Li Shengxia!"

"Who's that again?"

"Young Master Yin's ex-girlfriend."

"That b*tch who left after taking the breakup fee from Young Master Yin? What is she doing here!"

"And her clothes are in such a mess. She probably learned that Young Master Yin was about to marry some other woman and couldn't take it."

"I heard that Young Master Yin gave up everything to elope with her, but this shameless woman ended up choosing money instead… She threw his kind, true heart to the ground and viciously stomped on it!"

"That actually happened? She's received the money, and she still dares to show her face now. Surely this is too shameless!"

"It's more than just shameless. She's setting a new bar for being shameless."

"Just look at her shabby appearance. How did Young Master Yin even fall for someone like this—"

Li Shengxia never imagined that today would be Yin Tangyi's engagement date, let alone that his engagement banquet would be held on this luxury yacht. What a sorry coincidence that she had shown up here in such a pitiful state!

She felt that today was her life's biggest nightmare. She only wanted to flee!

However, just then a voice rang out from the crowd—

"Shengxia, I didn't think that you would come, but I'm so glad you came to congratulate me."

The one who spoke was Li Shengxia's former best friend, the one Yin Tangyi was engaged to, Wen Ting'er.

Li Shengxia used to gush about Yin Tangyi in front of Wen Ting'er, but she had never dreamed that Wen Ting'er would actually become interested in Yin Tangyi… Much less succeed in making Yin Tangyi agree to marry her!

Insincerity was plainly written all over Wen Ting'er's face.

"I just happened to pass by," Li Shengxia answered coolly.

"Shengxia, I know you used to be crazy about Tangyi, but all that's in the past. I'm his woman now. Don't forget that you took the breakup fee."

She took care to enunciate the words 'breakup fee'!
